 \section{Restore from multiple Storage Daemon}
 \index[general]{Restore}
 
+Previously, you were able to restore from multiple devices in a single Storage
+Daemon. Now, Bacula is able to restore from multiple Storage Daemon. For
+example, if your full backup runs on a Storage Daemon with an autochanger, and
+your incremental jobs use an other Storage Daemon with lots of disks, Bacula
+will switch automatically from a Storage Daemon to an other in the same Restore
+job.
+
+You need to upgrade your File Daemon to use this feature.
+
+This project was funded by Bacula Systems with the help of Equiinet.

+\section{Bvfs API}
+\label{sec:bvfs}
+
+To help developers in restore GUI interfaces, we have added new \textsl{dot
+  commands} that permit to browse the catalog in a very simple way.
+
+\begin{itemize}
+\item \texttt{.update [jobid=x,y,z]} This command is required to update the
+  Bvfs cache in the catalog. You need to run it before any access to the Bvfs
+  layer.
+\item \texttt{.lsdirs jobid=x,y,z path=/path | pathid=101} This command will
+  list all directories in the specified \texttt{path} or \texttt{pathid}. Using
+  \texttt{pathid} avoids problems with caracters encoding.
+\item \texttt{.lsfiles jobid=x,y,z path=/path | pathid=101} This command will
+  list all files in the specified \texttt{path} or \texttt{pathid}. Using
+  \texttt{pathid} avoids problems with caracters encoding.
+\end{itemize}
+
+You can use \texttt{limit=xxx} and \texttt{offset=yyy} to limit the amount of
+data that will be displayed.
